Consumer Description

THE PIN FELL OUT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL AND POKED HOLES IN THE TRANSMISSION, RUINING IT. THE PROPERTY DAMAGE REFERRED TO IS THE COST OF A NEW TRANSIMISSION. IT IS LIKELY THIS ONE CANNOT EVEN BE REBUILT, WHICH MEANS IT WILL COST ANOTHER $500 TO FIX IT. SINCE THIS HAPPENED I HAVE HEARD FROM MANY PEOPLE THAT CHRYSLER HAS LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSIONS AND I HAVE HEARD SEVERAL STORIES OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM, INCLUDING A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT TO NHTSA.*AK
